Madman to Publish Second Batch of Anime DVDs and Blu-rays in May 2022

When it comes to their home video releases of anime, Australian anime publisher Madman Entertainment rolls out a single batch of releases each month – usually in the first week or two. Whether due to delays, logistics, other reasons or just no reason at all, they are swooping in with a second batch of DVD and Blu-ray releases due to hit store shelves on 25 May 2022.

In an era of online streaming via services like CrunchyRoll, you don’t need to necessarily purchase home video releases of anime to check out some of the latest anime from Japan. However, for those series I love or am curious about, I still cannot resist old-schooling it and owning a physical copy of a show – one that is not just going to disappear from my collection one day due to rights expiration. If you are like me, scroll down to see if anything catches your eye.
